@0toAstonishing @RusselRaZe @pcgamer The issue arises when you consider that Overwatch 2 is supposedly being merged with the first game, making it so there's nothing to even be a sequel to, and it's not even a sequel anymore... yet it's titled as sequels are, traditionally.

@BikiniBodhi Lmfao so true, although I am possibly going to drop Siege after the next season if they don't fix it and just go to OverWatch 2

@sneakymari @sikhwarriorlive @RishiAlwani I tried overwatch 1 a year back my main issue was laggy lobbies and matchmaking taking too long. I dont care about battlepasses these days its just xp grind not a content drop for me. Is this game worse now? I was thinking of having a fresh start in sequel.

Look Overwatch is a fun game but there is a much more simple solution to all of the problems they are trying to resolve: just hire more diverse devs and listen to what they have to say

@SYACVG Most people that are going to play Overwatch 2 are going to be Overwatch 1 players, if new players have a problem with playing 50-100 matches then they don't care enough to not stop playing shortly after the release.

@SYACVG I don't see the problem. From someone who plays TF2 and has heard people saying something like "imagine if you couldn't play engie until you finish 60 games", which on one point it's wrong, Overwatch heroes only have one set of whatever, TF2 has 150+ weapons and variations -

@MorrisseyFr @That_mist_ake @SYACVG A big part of Overwatch’s gameplay is counter-picking and switching heroes, sometimes mid match. If you haven’t unlocked the counter to an enemy hero wrecking your team, the game is broken. They’ve sabotaged their game to extract more money from players.

@timmy77779 @AyziEther Overwatch 2 seems overall worse, while I can't confirm it (never bothered downloading the beta) I heard it had performance issues during the beta and considering it's graphically 1:1 that's pretty damn stupid, it just seems like a balance update with a little content and bugs.

@AaryB2 @pcgamer Lmao, they fixed the issue. Overwatch 1 got so bad that they needed a sequel and made it free. The TF2 community is strong lmao.

I’m not particularly beat up about Overwatch in particular, it’s just that this “games as a service” bullshit is really bad for the preservation of games and all the hard work the devs and artists put into them

@AE_Cerberus @RusselRaZe @pcgamer From what I can interpret what the "2" in Overwatch 2 represents: the second version of a live game service.

@dummyhe69274306 @arcticpeache More like transparency so that the public and Judicial overwatch can view for accuracy of being error free in how the litigation process was upheld. Thus, making it that much more difficult for an appeal.

@NeimadsAttic I mean it’s not all bad. They shut the servers down and are replacing it with Overwatch 2. From what I understand everything you’ve earned and player level is carrying over! You don’t have to buy overwatch 2 either as it’s free. A lot of benefits for current overwatch players.

@poynter_de @pcgamer I never put one dime into Overwatch after buying the base game. As far as connections, yeah I drop out of a few games here and there. Sometimes the game crashed sometimes internet was the problem. Out of 500 hrs/6 yrs maybe that was an issue, 20 times?

@PlayOverwatch It's scuffed but Overwatch kind of raised me. For better or worse. Overwatch came out around a time we were having family issues. I was still a teen. I got to escape, mess around, made some weird relationships, had silly little drama etc. But I'll miss it.

I’m not particularly beat up about Overwatch, but this “games as a service” **** is really bad for the preservation of games. Countless man hours by overworked devs and artists can just go *poof*. A product you paid for can just go *poof*

@pcgamer Blizzard shuts off a perfectly functional game so they can force you in GaMES aS a SeRviCE nightmare with as many predatory micro-transactions as humanly possible. Let Overwatch Die, teach Blizz a lesson.

Also, my lore for those that don’t know, is that I started playing Overwatch on my ex’s PC when I was disabled and on bedrest. I couldn’t leave the house without passing out, started playing, was mad that I was bad, and vowed to fix it. Went Bronze to Masters season 2-8.

And to those crying about needing a phone to play the game, cry about it. There is a bunch of F2P games that require this and Overwatch has a smurfing issue hopefully this will help. I'm sure they might find a way around it but hopefully not "its just a overwatch patch"

Overwatch was truly fun in its chaotic chapter, when the game was everything on the table. Once a meta was forced on it, all the incessant pandering and sterilization, now the insane privacy issues, it’s not the same game I bought years ago.

(@luvsentt) reported
my first issue is the concept of free-to-play. for OW1 players, we all had to pay from $20-$60 for the game. now it’s free? this wouldn’t be as much of an issue if 1. overwatch wasn’t getting shut down, & 2. the rest im getting into. (2/6)

one more time before overwatch 1 ends: smurfs were never a major problem, you're just terrible and assume anyone with a low level account is a 4600 player.

@CROLUKA20 Wait they shut the servers down for Overwatch 1? Well ****, guess my trophies are going to be forever without the platinum.
